Personal:

6 ft tall, nation wide

"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka

 

"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of 
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

wednesday afternoon i poked my eyeball in a shrub out in the yard and tore my cornea a little. the pain was pretty bad and i didn't sleep a wink that night. in fact in hurt a lot just to wink. yesterday i went to the doc and got it patched up with a temporary contact lens and got some antibiotics. it feels a lot better today. anyway, so that's my excuse for no run yesterday. i needed the break anyway. todays run felt great.

WT 30 miles.
